God of Tricksters

'Lightning Purgatory.'

Suddenly, huge lightning erupted and split into numerous lightning, looping around to surround the guy from four directions.

"!!!" The guy was surprised that Ergene managed to control her lightning to this degree despite her sloppy control. So, he believed this was her skill, not related to her control at all.

'So, it's coming at me directly.' The guy thought as he thrust his spear once again. The torrential Magic Power blasted the wall in front of him and continued straight to the lightning, engulfing everything.

But Ergene, who was supposed to be in that direction, disappeared.

"Huh?" The guy was confused for a moment and tried to look for her. He couldn't use his Awareness since he didn't master it, so he had a problem searching for her.

And that was when the lightning pierced through the wall, shattering it and making its way toward him.

"Huh?" The guy turned around and realized that the lightning had a homing ability.

But because the lightning shattered the rocks, it threw a huge part of them toward him, causing the attack to come in the form of rock and lightning.

"Tsk." The guy clicked his tongue and thrust his spear again, trying to push back all these attacks.

The torrential Magic Power dispersed all the lightning and shattered the rocks. But unexpectedly, Ergene was actually behind the biggest rock. When the rock was destroyed, she passed through the rock and waved her sword.

'She was hiding behind that rock?' The guy tried to avoid this attack, but it was too late.

Ergene struck him with a sword, but her frustration remained because the guy somehow managed to avoid it at the last second. If he only used his body to dodge her attack, it would be too late. But his Perfect Control threw him to the side, allowing him to give his body enough momentum to escape from her attack.

"It seems I have underestimated you." The guy made a smug smile as if he took pride in avoiding that attack.

Ergene realized that the situation became dire because she needed more and more backup plans to strike him. The only way for her to defeat him was to become unpredictable and take him out by surprise.

"You should take pride in yourself because you can injure me, the left hand of the leader  of the Skyward Guardian." He smirked. "And I'll make sure to enjoy you well after I defeat you."

'My raw power is not enough to fight him and my Five Aspects can't compare to his own.' Despite her negative thoughts, she still smirked and taunted the enemy. "It seems the Skyward Mercenary is a place of sex offenders. No wonder there is only one woman in your place."

His eyebrows twitched, but he didn't burst out this time. "Don't worry. You are going to be the second one."

Ergene narrowed her eyes, organizing another backup plan in her mind. In total, she could see five ways to take him out by surprise.

'I'm glad that I follow Theo. Thanks to him, I can learn how to take on someone stronger than me.' Ergene took a deep breath as she became calmer and calmer. After that, she charged forward and swung her swords a few times, trying to fight him again.

This fight lasted for more than twenty rounds as the guy gradually suppressed her again.

"Useless, useless! You won't be able to defeat me." He laughed while thrusting his spear.

Ergene gritted her teeth and looped around at her fastest speed. She was running with her lightning, so this speed was beyond the enemy's expectation.

"Huh?!" The guy was startled and immediately raised his spear handle to the side. His eyes had a hard time keeping up, but his instinct was telling him the danger.

As he predicted, the spear stopped Ergene's attack again, but Ergene started moving faster than his eyes again, confusing him.

"This is…" He had truly underestimated Ergene. He thought Ergene was just a normal Mythical Rank Expert that Theo recruited just because of her body, but it seemed that the woman had high potential as well, considering her movement became better and better as the fight continued.

"You are becoming more and more interesting." He smirked excitedly before swinging his spear a few times, blocking the consecutive attacks from Ergene.

"Tsk." Ergene clicked her tongue, noticing that she might be faster than his eyes, but his instinct was still sharp enough to pick her location.

'The first plan was to outrun him, but it seemed that it wasn't successful.' Ergene thought, assessing the situation.

Now that Ergene had finally piqued his interest, the guy suddenly made his move one step ahead as if he was predicting where she planned to go.

"!!!" Ergene widened her eyes because when she was about to wave that sword, the guy had already thrust his spear forward, forcing her to stop that swing and use the sword to block it.

"Got you." The guy smiled.

The spear let out a torrential Magic Power, blowing her away.

"Kh." Ergene gritted her teeth and felt the force contained in this attack. Her clothes were cut again and again as they were weak against the pressure of this attack.

'I should have asked Theo for a set of armor from Maya's company.' Ergene thought while getting pushed back for at least two hundred feet.

Despite the distance, the guy followed her as if he was planning to make a follow up attack that could defeat her.

'Second way…' Ergene rotated her sword while blocking this shock wave and released all her lightning. The lightning erupted and expanded the blade to at least thirty feet long. She swung it down, trying to kill him before he could reach her. 'Kill him with an extraordinary power by surprise.'

"!!!" The guy noticed that Ergene planned to pin him down to the ground and overwhelm him with this power since his control couldn't deflect this amount of lightning.

"Kh!" The guy gritted his teeth and raised his spear, blocking it.

"Die!" Ergene's eyes turned bloodshot as she waved her sword as hard as she could.
